Can An Employer Offer Health Insurance To Management Employees And Not Offer It To All Employees?
Question by lanebaby67 | Posted in Law & Legal
I work for a Mattress company in Florida, and I just found out that the owner is paying for his management staffs insurance, but he doesn't even offer it to his sales people. Is that even legal?
When I started, he said he was going to be getting health insurance for all his employees, he was working on it. That was over a year ago and now I am finding out that he is offering insurance to his management staff and sales people of his same nationality. Two of the employees he is paying insurance for are no higher up the ladder than me.
Answer: Yes, it is his business, and he can provide benefits to managers if he likes. Most companies do something similar. You are never entitled to "benefits," they are decided on and offered at the employer's discretion.

The old Plan is not offered to lower management or hourly workers. I want to know if this is legal, I am located in Florida

I am a medical records release of information specialist and was wondering if the skills I have gained would allow me to work in the insurance industry? Thanks in advance!
Answer: You don't specify what kind of facility you are working in or which part of the insurance industry you were considering entering. I am thinking most likely you currently work in a hospital or large clinic and are considering going into medical insurance billing and/or coding.
